Reasons to Never Leave your Appliances Running Unsupervised Part 4 - Legalese

Ever read through your user manual for your appliances? Unfortunately you really should and you might want to find your Legalese to English dictionary while your at it because there are most certainly going to be annoying and convoluted legal terms worked into your warranties.

Most user manuals go over the not only the length, but the conditions surrounding any warranties you do and don't have on your appliances. Typically, it will be mentioned somewhere that you should only run your machines while they are supervised (by an adult no less) or it will void any warranties. To be clear on this: it may void ALL of the warranties the manufacturer has placed on the machine, leaving you completely at fault for any damage to the appliance, your home, your person, and anything else!

While your digging through the user manual, which I hope you haven't thrown out as it's "useless", read through the areas on maintenance and proper care as well. There is probably some annoying legal mumbo jumbo in there as well about how improper or infrequent maintenance will also void your warranty or extended warranty.
